Answer:
<em>XY = 92 units</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Similar Shapes</u>
Two shapes are similar if all their corresponding side measures are in the same proportion.
The triangles UVW and YVX are similar because their side lengths are in the proportion 1:2, given the tick marks provided in the drawing.
This means that the measure of VX is twice the measure of VW,
The measure of YV is twice the measure of UV
The measure of XY is twice the measure of UW
This last proportion gives the equation:
z + 46 = 2z
Solving for z:
z = 46
Thus, XY = z+46 = 92
XY = 92 units
There is no whole number that is half of 11 but the half number is 5.5
1. 1.5 and 3.5
2. both equations because they share these particular points
